I know what you're thinking, and the answer is yes; I definitely did use adiclub points to get an extra 30% off, on top of the base "your National Team is bad and you should feel bad" 30% off, to buy the 1970's style Italy shirt modeled by a young Al Yankovic.

I love a good old fashioned "coin toss" or "drawing of lots"; reminds me of the "Coin Toss of Destiny" way back in the year 2000 when Canada and South Korea level on all stats at the 2000 Concacaf Gold Cup settled who moved to the knockout rd via coin toss in a tent. Canada won and won the Gold Cup!

I still say this is one of our most interesting flags; shame it isn’t an “official” one.

We're a proper Toronto club now; look, we've only got six stripes because THE SIX, fuck them nine stripes, hopefully we can convince Wikipedia to drop our "Nine Stripes" nickname

Looks like CBC is embracing their "Gem" this go around, maybe I'll log into the CBC Gem web client the next time the app pisses itself as I've seen exactly ONE stone of this first end.

This tech support from CBC is, how do I say, sub-optimal.

I went on crappy tire's website and the first (non-Olympic) Dutch Oven that came up was $135 and it looked tiny in comparison to it's Olympic compatriot. I'm not saying $500 isn't overpriced but maybe it's not wildly overpriced.

H/T to @twoht.bsky.social for assembling the list. This is what happens when Gianni Infantino falls in love with rogue states and their despots. As we get closer to kick off the list of "not welcomes" will rise; and Gianni will giddily promote an event the world is no longer allowed to attend.

Betti Delorey's rink finished with a record of 0-4 in the 3 rink group phase, Muise and Kaufman both finished 3-1. They will now face Team Kaufman (coached by Kerry Galusha) to see who will represent the Northwest Territories at the 2026 Scotties.

I like Craig Bellamy, I like him as Wales manager, I think he's perfect for international football. But, Craig Bellamy once did a golf swing celebration to mock the fact he attacked a teammate with a golf club before a match, which is disrespectful, so maybe he's not the best celebrations expert.

Jays need to make an offering to Jobu to deal with Mariners pitching. Also maybe get some hats for the bats, it's chilly this time of year.

WHOOP is now up to v5, and their plans are now annual, and they offer pricing in CAD it used to be USD converted. But in an effort to take advantage of the very consumerism their ad rails against; they offer their plans at multiple price points with dumbed down features at the lower levels.

B-67 Nuuk back at it in the Greenlandic Football Championship less than 24 hours after their 10-nil drubbing of K-33. This time it’s IT-79 (another Nuuk based side) third place in last years championship and a 6-nil loser to B-67 in the semi-finals last year. Can they surprise the 15 time champions?

Canadian balls are also bigger. We put that shit on a shirt so people knew there was another difference between the two codes.

First of all, well played Carleton, you have made me smile. Now secondly, which Calgary based MP is going to have a change of heart about representing a riding in Parliament and put the taxpayer immediately through a costly by-election just so Skippy can collect a paycheque again?

Yesterday I discovered that European Truck Racing is a thing* and they have a fully sanctioned FIA racing series with races shown on YouTube. Now, let me tell you, I am anxiously awaiting the start of the 2025 season in May. *I knew truck racing was a thing, just unaware it was at that level.

According to CFLdb (a website I did not know existed until I googled this question) it's in the CBA but it only applies to veteran players and it varies based on your level of veteranness (that's never seen a word but screw it I'm sticking with it) between 4-6 years.

Results haven’t been great for Everton, but it’s quite harsh to sack your manager hours before a home FA Cup tie. That said I’m sure that now ex-manager Sean Dyche would find my thoughts on harshness to be

I know you now know the Allsvenskan is in Sweden. So here's all the facts I know about GAIS. 1) Göteborg side; tend to play in black and green. 2) I thought they were still in the Superettan. 3) At one point they had the most viking looking footballer ever on their books Ásgeir Börkur Ásgeirsson

So the last place I was travel wise was Helsinki on the back end of a Baltic Capitals and Helsinki trip. But my passport was stamped in Iceland (love a quick convenient layover), so I’ve included a couple of photos from when I was there properly too.

"Merit-based" says FIFA President Johnny Infant; about his senseless expanded cash grab Club World Cup being held in the United States which would exclude the US Domestic Champions should RBNY complete their running of the MLS playoff gauntlet and win the MLS Cup.
